Absolutely. I think any normal person, if they were actually informed of the tradeoff between performance/battery life and thinness, would choose the thicker phone. They're just too swayed by marketing and unaware of engineering realities to make that choice sensibly.
I think that comment is mostly wish fulfillment. Display of wealth is the surest, simplest way for a man to get laid, and that hasn't changed in five thousand years. Neither Millennials nor Post-Millennials are a new species. The women are pretty much the same as women always have been, and the men are pretty much the same as men always have been.
Compared to its quality thirty years ago, it is. It has gone from a respectable scientific publication to something on the order of Popular Science. It's painful, because I absolutely loved that magazine when I was young.
This is the truth. Black families have suffered greatly at the hands of ill-advised social programs. I presume they were mostly well-intentioned, but the outcome was certainly negative.
To the other commentator who mentions rape culture: Do you have even the slightest idea what you are talking about?
They don't, and I would suggest they can not understand what they're talking about, because 'rape culture' is a meaningless, il-defined, and self-contradictory concept. If they could define exactly what rape culture was, it would either be horrible and rare, or common and unremarkable. They would rather leave it a nebulous concept, able to be used globally for accusations whenever desired, and immune to any objection.
But in primitive societies, the village is the whole world. If you're shamed, for all practical purposes, everyone in the universe will know it forever. And leaving is unthinkable.
And...
You have the opportunity to speak and reason with those that shame you. You have the opportunity at redemption.
I think you may not understand why we call them primitive.
Assuming the real reporting rate is 10 times higher, that is still a 1 in 100,000,000 chance of junk ad if you live in the US
The real rate of people being bothered by your ad is 1,000 - 10,000 times higher than what you're seeing. You think 10% of the people your ads irritate file a complaint? That's ridiculously optimistic.
I'll tell you this; you have far more people turned off by your ad than you have clickthroughs. It may still be justifiable from a business perspective, but don't lie to yourself about it.
I know. Teaching people arithmetic has destroyed the careers of so many mathematicians, and don't get me started about the ill-conceived notion of mass literacy.
I wonder what regions don't have them? I wouldn't be able to find a decent size grocery store within a hundred miles of here (Pacific Northwest) that didn't have Pocky.
I think 'all those assholes' out there will be a little smarter in many aspects of their life once they learn to code. It's a reasoning skill. Just like, yes, a little bit of knowledge in ALL those fields you mentioned makes everybody a little better, and should be encouraged.

Well thanks for demonizing people with mental illnesses. Who by the way are LESS violent on average than the overall population.
Less violent? That's nuts.
That is not a quote that a sane person could utter.

It's gone up and down, but mostly up. http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/Agencies%3B.jpg
They obey the customers.
So all the ex convicts voted as a bloc?
Well, pretty close to it, or else the governor wouldn't have cared. http://felonvoting.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000662
The state can make a law requiring you buy their product; a company can not. (In fact, this is what happened with Obamacare.)
The state can forbid competitors; a company can not.
The free market is far more consistent with a political philosophy of individual rights.
Everyone is accusing everyone of being fake news.
That may be the best possible outcome. Extreme skepticism is preferable to extreme gullibility.
You're a big guy.
It would be more of a utopia if we repelled laws banning free speech.

There are no females on this website (at least genetically). There are a fair number of feminists and SJWs.

Courage to proceed in the face of condemnation and disdain... courage which your slashdot posts so bravely exemplify.

Yes, and some of them will be better programmers than you or I.

Backspace taking you back a page was one of the stupidest default key configurations in the history of computing.
You mean they're tricking you into not cancelling by producing interesting shows? Those bastards.
